Counseling about identified carrier status may require referral for specialized genetic counseling, for example, in complex or untreatable disorders. Support, counseling, and follow-up can assist individuals and their families in coping with positive test results. However, there are practical as well as social and ethical problems with obtaining and using information on carrier status obtained from newborns.
More research is also needed to understand clients' risk interpretation and assimilation, particularly to determine factors influencing the timing of genetic counseling interventions to take advantage of the teachable moment(s) for genetic counseling. Chase, G., et al. Preconception genetic counseling should be considered in the clinical settings of advanced maternal age, a previous fetus or child with a genetic disorder, a parent with a genetic disorder or trait, family history of a genetic disorder, maternal genetic disorders that pregnancy may aggravate or that may threaten fetal health and survival, history of infertility, consanguinity, and environmental exposures that …
Finally, genetic services should not be disruptive to families.
During the past year, the bioethical issues generated by genetic screening (and its related activity, genetic counseling) have received renewed attention. The preservation of autonomous reproductive decision making may also come in direct conflict with traditional public health perspectives, which emphasize choices for societal good in terms of improved health by reducing the overall burden of disease or decreasing social and health care costs.

Causes of discrimination in health insurance. Such language and the concepts it reflects account for concerns of many persons in the disabilities community about genetic testing and the Human Genome Project. Once genetic tests are judged to be "standard of care" for routine use, primary care practitioners are likely to be the ones to offer such testing and obtain informed consent. Also, professionals should not harbor implicitly eugenic goals of preventing births or otherwise influencing reproductive or other decisions. Many of the challenges concern the rarity of individual conditions and their unfamiliarity to most clinicians, even those in the subspecialty areas of gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, and medical oncology. This variability may be due to differences in people's views on reproduction and abortion, the role of children in the society, the significance of genetic disorders and diagnoses in terms of overall, BOX 4-2 Ethnic and Cultural Perspectives on Genetic Information.

In general, the committee recommends that misattributed paternity detected through follow-up to newborn screening should only be revealed to the mother and should not be volunteered to the social father (see Chapters 2 and 8). Asch, A. Potentially, one benefit of having primary care practitioners provide genetic counseling will be more continuity of care, since continuity of care provides more opportunities over time for teachable moments. A genetics evaluation may be necessary for making an appropriate diagnosis in individuals with suspicious, yet subtle features, as in attenuated FAP and in HNPCC. Some receive group counseling with or without individual assessment and counseling, some receive written information, and some receive information over the telephone prior to testing.

In addition, when the sensitivity or specificity of the carrier test is less than optimal and there are social concerns about confidentiality and discrimination; under these circumstances, specialized genetic counseling may also be needed before any genetic test to help clients make a decision about whether to pursue carrier testing. 1987. If, for example, an individual is found to be a carrier for an autosomal recessive disorder such as CF or Tay-Sachs disease, the genetic counselor informs the individual that siblings also each have a 50 percent chance of being carriers. Social and psychological stress introduced by genetic diagnosis, as well as future financial and emotional burdens, can severely impact family functioning (Schild, 1979).
